Many of you know me well, some do not...but I hope soon to count you among my friends.....

My friend Tim died today....he had been home for three days after a heart valve replacement surgery.....

The surgery was quite successful....and he was discharged home and doing very well.

For whatever reason, he had a seizure and did not stop...and he died at his home....

This is the last email he sent me....

"Dear Julia",

"Can the deaf hear? Can the blind see? Can the mute sing? If you ask me, I say yes, if dreams come true....As I look around I see many leftover broken dreams...".

"To succeed you must practice.
So stand up and live your dream, it is there for the taking."

"Life and dreams are like finely cut diamonds, there are many faucets. If one side should get jades and tarnished all you have to do is turn it a little and you will find a side brilliant and new....".

"I need some peace of mind...those sweet clean mountains call to me....I will be home at ---.---.----. I will be back in the city on the 2ND.
For now, I leave you with a page of my life."

Timothy
PS. "Anyone have a map and I compass?"
"....now where was I...... "

Thanks Tim, for the page, and the song.
Thank you for touching my heart....
I will see you in the sunset.
